Breakfast at home: plain yogurt with toasted coconut, cacao nibs, flax meal, roasted and slivered almonds, granola, and golden raisins. Discovered and killed by hand many tiny gnats found along the sliding glass doors. Continued development website build: switched from media query to container query for table of contents. Lunch with a subset of The Syndicate and guests at Wilkommen on its penultimate day of operation. In attendance: Tim C, Marc, Andy, Scott, Scot, Jose, Brian, Timmy D. We talked about unemployment, plants, long urban hikes, 24-hour hikes, and more. Walked home. Cleaned the door to the garage with dish soap solution. Attempted to remove (deposits?) from the lock on the same door with CLR but it did not work. Continued development website build: wrote landing page copy for Immigration, added pages for Med Spa (formerly Skin Clinic), microneedling, and CoolSculpting and translated all to the other four languages. In the evening Patrick and I walked to Blackbird to see art part of the Art Walk event. He was hoping to see art from an acquaintance, but we did not find it. While walking along Market Street we encountered and chatted briefly with Keith R who was walking the Art Walk. We dined at Takara: snow crab roll, hamachi roll, shrimp tempura roll, spicy tuna roll, hot tea. All food and drink were delicious. Afterwards we walked to Lobby Bar for drinks. We briefly said hello to Grace. Paul met us there a while later. We chatted about Puerto Vallarta, Spain, Folsom Street Fair (none of us went), DoxyPEP, and more. We three left Lobby Bar and while walking down 18th Street we encountered Mark H who introduced Patrick and me to (I think?) Kevin and T.H. Afterwards Patrick, Paul, and I got a round of drinks at Twin Peaks. Paul left to dine, and Patrick and I walked home.
